Acid-catalyzed intramolecular addition of a carboxy group to vinylsilanes
摘要:
In the presence of a catalytic amount of (TsOHH2O)-H-. or TiCl4, 5-silyl-4-pentenoic acids (1), namely vinylsilanes with a carboxy group, were smoothly cyclized to gamma-lactones in good to high yields. The difference in the geometry of the carbon-carbon double-bond did not affect the reaction rate. The TiCl4-catalyzed cyclization of the substrates bearing a phenyl or alkyl group at the homoallylic position showed moderate cis-selectivity, while introduction of a substituent into the allylic position led to high transselectivity.
